I was under the impression that passenger trains only have one class (unreserved).
Well, passenger trains are frequented by petty thieves and beggars.Pickpocketing is not very common, but still a threat.If one wants to experience the real Indian Railways, passenger trains are the way to go !!
No dear foreign guest, it is NOT unwise to travel in passenger trains in India. All you have to do is to be careful. Despite what has been written, I do NOT agree having seen all kinds of foreign tourists travelling in passenger trains. In fact, you may surprised if you are given additional space. But do take the warnings seriously; keep your bags/equipments safe, and take your own drinking water with you. For more detailed information, I would recommend you to visit www.indiamike.com which has lots more info on travelling in trains on India.

Passenger trains also have reserved accommodation. For eg, check 241B Mumbai-Ahmedabad Passenger. It has Sleeper class and 2AC(between Mumbai and Surat). Many more such examples are there.
